Even on deadline day, the Blues made a concerted attempt to try to sign Victor Osimhen before the English transfer window closed, but they were unsuccessful, and the striker remained at Napoli. However, Napoli is still eager to let Osimhen go, considering that his £160,000 weekly salary is a significant weight for the Italian team to bear.

They have reached a loan agreement with Galatasaray of Turkey, wherein the Istanbul team would pay the striker's salary; nevertheless, Osimhen's approval was also given and he will spend the season in Turkey. He is now scheduled to board a flight for Turkey and get his medical on Tuesday. Galatasaray will be hoping that Osimhen makes a significant impact on the field, but off it, there is no way for them to acquire him permanently through the loan.
